2015

We’ve played on the beach at Waikiki, ridden the Tube beneath the old streets of London, seen a Broadway play and met Bob Marley’s mom. We’ve listened spellbound to black granny midwives from the American South, visited ancient temples in Kyoto and schmoozed with the dolphins at the San Diego Zoo. And those are just a few snapshots of the fun we’ve had together between classes at Midwifery Today conferences!

Remember the all-night gab sessions with new midwife friends, telling birth stories and howling with laughter or crying on a friendly shoulder? You talked as if you were old friends with teachers who have mentored you from afar for the length of your midwifery career. You learned new tricks for managing your practice to give you more time with your kids. You overheard a conversation at the next table about apprenticeship and turned to join in. And your favorite author signed your dog-eared copy of her or his very first book.

That’s just a taste of the warmth and instant rapport you’ll enjoy at a Midwifery Today conference! And best of all, the conference classes are just what you’ve needed: they’re informative, presenting the latest facts and techniques; they’re inspiring, interactive and engaging; and best of all, they empower you as a birth practitioner.

Within a framework of acceptance and harmony, you will soften your caregiver’s heart while strengthening your resolve to serve pregnant and birthing women. In addition, when you join us at a US Midwifery Today conference, you can round up your CEUs while having fun! Take part in the learning and the growing—you’ll be jazzed about your work for a long time after!

Past participants say:

The subjects were brilliant, in fact the hardest thing was initially picking which sessions to take. I am totally blown away with everything! Just loved it all, and hope to see you all again before too long.Strasbourg 2010 attendee

I have my batteries recharged and am ready to bring new knowledge, hope and conviction back to the hospital!Eugene 2009 attendee

Thank you for yet another brilliant conference. There was such a good atmosphere and a lot of people said they really felt closer to "the spirit of midwifery." There is such hope for the future and empowerment of the doulas and midwives in these gatherings, that everybody goes back to their work wherever that might be, with strength and inspiration to improve things, without having to feel alone.Marta Orbis, Midwifery Today Country Contact for Denmark, attendee at the Copenhagen, Denmark 2009 conference

This is the best conference in this field.Eugene 2009 attendee

I have never attended a Midwifery Today conference before and my heart is full of gratitude. You gave me some "back to basics" days that I really needed. And it was so good to feel so much love and warmth these days. Thank you! (smiley face)Norway 2007 attendee
